Leading the Inner Procession

Neville's Inner Vision

Joseph here is a state of consciousness, going up to bury his father as a symbolic release of an old dream of separation. The great company—servants of Pharaoh, elders of his house, elders of Egypt—represents the many inner dispositions and beliefs that attend a man when he acts from that higher I AM. When these inner and outer authorities march behind the act, they testify that all states of mind can assemble in harmony under the sovereignty of the I AM. The burial ritual is not tragedy; it is a reclamation: the old image of self as separate from source is laid to rest, and a new unity is declared. In Neville’s psychology, dignity arises from recognizing Imago Dei in every character that appears within you. If you practice this now, you acknowledge that your inner world is not divided: all figures realign under the one awareness, and unity follows. The practical invitation: imagine the procession in your mind and feel the I AM leading it, with every inner state present and ready to honor the whole.
